Early December

I hope everyone’s holidays are going well ! It is cold and wet at the Farm. I am trying to get out and continue clearing the storm damage from last January but the days are short and cold and wet, LOL. I have made good progress though.

Big Bubbler has not been bubbling much since the Great “Unknown Realms” festival in September. He hopes to get his second knee fixed in February.

I am spending a lot of time indoors, of course…

My latest Art for product designing is my “Stony Wall” made from pictures of the pillars holding up my local hospital’s front entrance. All the stuff I create with that art should end up in my “Rock Shop” https://wetrock.com/WRGwp/product-category/rock-stone-bark-wood/ As with all my art, I can put it on whatever compatible products people want me to.

Another recent theme has been Christmas stuff which I have in “Current Events” https://wetrock.com/WRGwp/product-category/current-events/ If you want stuff by Christmas, please order earlier than you think you need to. My stuff is printed, sewn, packed and shipped after you order it which usually takes a few days and this is a busy time for the printers and the postal carriers …

I have been doing a bunch of “Dark Santa” themed items for people looking for something other than red and white. I think they are all in current events but gathered together here as well: https://wetrock.com/WRGwp/product-category/current-events/dark-santa-collection/

I really like my new “Iron Plated” art that also came from pictures I took at the nearby hospital. This search for iron should show what I have made from that so far: https://wetrock.com/WRGwp/?s=iron&post_type=product

“Iron Plated” joins my personal favorite “Armor” designs that include “Stony Wall”, “Mossy Concrete Rubble” and “Holey Stainless Steel”

Here are some more recent favorites:

Some support for people with “Eye Lash Mites” (Demodex) or Canker Sores

I know of 2 Facebook Pages on these two topics that may be helpful to some people. I post it here to try to help anyone affected find these pages.

Canker Sores

I can’t promise they are professional or well researched. Just opinions to consider if you are looking for info.

Sept. 23 Update:

More photos in the “Realms Unknown 2024” album on Big Bubbler’s Facebook Page.

Update: Surgery postponed, So I should be around if you need me 🙂

Back from the Unknown Realms Festival. Was great bubbling as expected 🙂 Getting Knee-replacement surgery tomorrow. Will be away from the computer a lot over the next month or so. You can still order things here as most of my products are either U-Pick or automatically printed and shipped by Printful. If you have any problems, I may be slow responding over the next month or so. You can contact Printful if it is their fault and they should authorize you to return the item for free replacement. Sorry for any inconvenience.

June at Wet Rock

Much happening this month! Ice Storm damage clean-up underway still. Grass waist high at the moment. Hope to get branches piled for burning so we can rent a tractor and mow…

Farm-Entrance Sign was down due to a hit-and-run tractor accident… Now back up and improved 🙂

Working on a page about WRG event-venue rentals… Page may not be “live” yet: https://wetrock.com/WRGwp/event-venue-rentals/

Big Bubbler entertainment info getting updated here: https://wetrock.com/WRGwp/big-bubbler-entertainment/

Wet Rock Gardens is the headquarters for the little known (and certainly not official) “Party Party” political Party. Maybe there will be an event someday? You can buy the towel or other “Party Party” gear in the Party’s Shop at Wet Rock: https://wetrock.com/WRGwp/product-category/party-party-gear/

Lots of new stuff added to the “Shop” recently. For instance “potting Soil” art and Yoga Mats and Puzzles:

———————————————————-

These small shoulder/crossbody bags are a new product I really like 🙂

I am having trouble adding more photos to the image groups above sooooo… one at a time I’ll add a few more.

And… “Triple Bubble” Slim can cooler/insulator/cozies

Massive Ice (freezing rain)Storm Jan. 13+

Freezing rain crushes farm trees, breaks irrigation/water systems and knocks out power for over a week. We were lucky because Wet Rock Headquarters had gas heat, gas water heat, a gas stove top and Cell Phones. Also, moving food from refrigeration out to ice chests worked well for most of the time due to the cold weather. The first few days and nights you could hear the trees and electrical infrastructure breaking in all directions. I saw flashes like lightning I assume were from exploding electrical gear. It was especially loud all night long with gun-fire like cracks and loud ice/branch-falling. I wish I had recorded the night sounds. We did not photograph everything as it was too dangerous during and rather depressing after. Here are some photos of the ice and damage:

Tall grasses encased in ice.
It was actually pretty beautiful to see in person.
Everything covered in ice.
Our nice young Red Pear tree totally broke off just above the ground which seems unusual. Maybe that was a graft line between tree and roots?
The tops of many trees were broken off and rained down around them (see next photo).
The mess from above litters the ground.
Our customer-favorite Italian Plumb patch decimated. Some branches have survived on nearby trees.
Many roads blocked. Our chainsaw was stolen by some local kids a year or so ago, but some volunteers have begun to help open things up already.
More views of trees with tops broken
A favorite Plumb tree we rescued from a another property years ago. It was knocked down during a previous storm and transplanted here. We will try to stand it back up and keep it alive once more.
Broken tops and… –>
… a mess below.
Once things began to melt the Ice from the fruit trees fell covering the ground in some areas.

Fall is here for sure.

It’s gett’n Cold And Wet at the farm. We are still open after Halloween by appointment all winter. We have Apples, some small pumpkins, Some seedless grapes, Lots of Hazelnuts (aka Filberts) and a few Walnuts on the ground. There are probably a few flowers here and there. We will have a lot of “Greens”, Rosemary, Bay Leaves and miscellany for the creative designer all Winter. If you can, I’d wait for one of the many nice days to visit 🙂

The online “Shop” is coming along nicely. We have been adding new stuff regularly and some of it is really nice 🙂 The new line of “what’s your spirit animal ?” Cougar dresses crack me up every time I see them. To check it all out click the link above in the header.

Below is a some more examples including a Christmas-sy Dress and Cargo bag. Some Bubble stuff, A Ukraine Peace Dress, Duck and Beaver inspired Dresses, First Responder gear and a crazy new idea: “Free Dresses” you wear until you find someone to give it away to 🙂 Order deadline for delivery by Christmas is early December for most of the “print on demand” stuff.
